One and Only

As she walked out of the school hall she failed to resist the urge to pull a breathless smile.
A smile at the thought of meeting her prince charming in less than ten minutes which seemed like ten days because she couldn't wait.
In the blink of an eye Mr send-butterflies-unto-her-tummy appeared merged into nonchalant air.
Although trying to be normal which failed him because his body language was obviously doing the talking for him.
Fury was consuming him and the worst part is he appeared and disappeared without a word.
She was reduced to pieces of confusion and emotional paralysis.
She finally found out after a few hours that he had torn pieces of mail found in her room from an ex boyfriend..and BECAUSE of that he denied her.Denied their baby saying it was someone else's.Denied her an explanation. Denied her forgiveness..denied her any trace of feeling to show and LEFT just like that
Her one and only was gone..all that was left to her was herself and the remaining evidence of their romance..
She was destroyed ..her world was shattered..it felt like gunshots directly ripped her chest open..
Had a choice to get rid of this embarrassing piece of evidence but it never happened..she kept the evidence.. maybe because at the time its the only part of her one and only which seemed to remain entwined to her or the only part of herself which was only left of her..
9months she endured the struggles..took the challenge and enrolled into single parenting academy where there was no tutor..no captain..no referee.. No coach...no nothing to guide her on the whats and what nots...save a few friends who had become her family..
She struggled to fight against all the odds witnessed in raising a child..believed in her one and only self...spared herself the luxury and moulded that evidence into something meaningful and independent..It is because of her that this piece is brought to life..hyperbolic as it may be..the facts hold much density... She is that ONE and ONLY woman

Echoes of a Silent Heart

Subject - Echoes of a silent heart!!

Bottled inside are the wounds never healed
Tears held back, songs without a melody
Words never uttered, thoughts not verbalized
A fire with neither flames nor smoke
Battled against were traumatic and heartrending battles 
some won ,some lost 
but all the same leaving behind scars 
scars which echoed the struggle experienced..
In its silence 
my heart yells at the identity crisis going down 
A crisis where one has no idea what they are made of or who they really are
Silence is so deep that you hear a terrified voice scared off by the fear of an unknown destiny
From a distance can be heard echoes of a heart saying enough is enough
 Yet its just getting started
The silence is so loud that only a deafened ear can hear it all
different ringing tones are assigned to my heart's mobile
today is the rnb joy of having a dear  take care of dear me...tomorrow..the soft melancholic slavery- like obligations which are self imposed of course...this heart pulls overdue  strings of pain on a guitar... that wch rilly simply echoes a silent heart

A Tortortous Kind of Love- a Letter To My Father

Dear father...
Saying I hate you would be a lie
Because that's an understatement
There's more to it than pure hatred
Cause mine towards you is a different kind
Its a fusion of natural adoration and built up disgust poured into a bowl of bitterness
We both know you refused your package
Yet your very opinionated self knew right from the start this package was yours
How do you look at yourself in the mirror or the least sleep peacefully at night
I'd love to think you were denied a conscience no matter how lowly you try to prove you own one
Its sad you took the "think before you act" and "action have consequences" for granted
Cause clearly they don't seem to be affecting you at all
But somewhere out there is a shattered soul, devoid of life
due to a series of circumstantial actions you have refused to account for
Given a calling to sentence you for killing this soul
I would GLADLY rip open your veins and arteries to watch you bleed to death or maybe
Cut the fleshy and borny parts of you into tiny sizeable  pieces,
burn them to ashes and let the vegetable garden use some ash fertilizer for growth...how about that?
You have no idea how pleasurable it would make me feel
To grind your successful empire into nothing more than a useless folder stored in a recycle bin
Yet what reality holds in me is actually the opposite
I curse not but pray God will bless you
I cry no more as the tears are held back by rejection's gravity
But when gravity is overwhelmed, tears overflow daily
Yet in each tear comes along more love
How torrid wouldn't you say?
Do you see how tortorous your effect is on me
I mean who searches for what needs not to be found?
Tragic ,my butchered naivety does everyday
So now give me an answer to my never ending questions
Will you?
Your daughter..

Mytimeline

So it's January the 10th and I just ended my never happy after modern fairytale with the umpteenth guy who has gained  access to the fragile shallow chambers of what they normally call a 'heart'...(for me it's just some very stupid love-thirsty mind rather). Instinctively I tell penguin(my bff) 
?
what just took place to which she replies "sorry dear" and a conversation about wifi connections resume. I mean??????dude I'm supposed to be heartbroken and you being the better half sister supposed to be making me feel less miserable but hey the wheel has turned "..hearts not getting broken, eyes forever open and time's forever frozen still.." It doesn't hurt, nothing does anymore. Someone though,?? was telling me that I have an inbuilt emotional system which makes it so basic to feel the need to be loved and to love which when I came to think of it made sense although in contrary with my reality?. Okay..**takes a deep breath**so maybe I'm just scared to try again or to confirm that love is dangerously amazing but it can't be love I'm scared of or the preconceived savage chocolate slice of heartbreak dipped in milky betrayal and broken bubbly promises...its something beyond these "wide shut eyes"..(to be continued)

Reflected In You

Its almost like I'm looking at myself in the mirror
Just in a different body that is
I mean we say the same things
Blurt the same numbers in games
Hold the same talents 
Being highly dramatic in speech and action 
Is one of our themes..let thee be pardoned
We speak the same language
Wear coordinating outfits in a row
One of us in the past unintentionally drove away 
A chirping bird to the edge of the branch
Because we got him thinking we was lesbians
Sounds like a fib right..well I'm serious
But hey..our bad Andrew
We actually one of those straightest-than-thou people(if the phrase even exists..point is we streit man) 
When you have more than 3 people title you twins
Its no more of a coincidence but evidence
Evidence of a rare species 
With unstoppable power to be unleashed
We hold the same values..morals and even instincts
Although the accuracy can vary at times
Far from this planet in a different world is the origin
Messedup ville to be specific
With only fears...nonsense..dreams..plans and adventure 
As our dear neighbours
Its only one day when the world shall get to see what we are made of
Glad to be reflected in you pumpkin

A Death That Bore Life

Victim to your snares, you held me captive
Brainwashed me
Arrested me for a crime I didn't commit
Or maybe I did but was ignorant of "it" being a crime
Sentenced me to trauma and bitterness
Threw me into ward number heartless
In solitary confinement even
How priceless!!!!
Tears streamed down my flaccid cheeks
Which instantly met some BEAUTIFUL panel beating
To give me something real to cry about
Even though your "puppy" shed crocodile teary empathy, I found it very sweet I tell you
I subconsciously turned the unpleasant image into a masterpiece portrait
Why I took in your inhumane behavoural patterns
Remains a blockbuster 
Especially when one looks at my effortless escape
Which if acted upon right from the start
Could have avoided all the madness
Although necessary an evil it served
Wounds have been dug and scars coming out to stay
Its history now.
Unpleasurable sound to the present day's ears
Cause finally we DIED in the end
An ending which paved way for a beautiful beginning
Our DEATH restores my sanity and peaceful pysche
Whether you got buried or not
I have the slightest idea
That is none of my business
I did and that's just fine
Our ghosts don't interact 
They speak not the same language
There is no more 'WE'
ME+YOU=NOTHING
And the math is DONE.

Comes First

Worst at its worst..it will come first
Blood ties or drinking ties there is a connection even still
Tho storms be as dark..it will stand out as snow
Cold as it may be but so white and soaring will it stand
Some say it ain't chosen but given
I'm thinking its given.. but you have the choice to take it or not
Its not what you look at in it..its what you see
It's a weird type of glass of..unheard of
Can be broken into the tiniest pieces on earth but 
Very functional will the remains be
Even more than the original glass
The world might break you but it will build you
It holds no grudges no pretence no nothing
Its one real something you can assure yourself of
Part of it can quickly come to rest
But will always hold in thy hearts the best
Its one thing that should be man's fetish
Addition and subtraction goes around it endlessly
Filled with tears of joy and sadness respectively
Its one aspect which deserves respect, love and patience
Even Wiz Khalifa sang"How can we not talk about it when its all we got"
Worst at its worst
Family comes first

Dear Us

How are we?
Is it just me or this atmosphere is heavily punctuated with confusing conditions
Lightning and thunder yesterday
A beautiful rainbow today
Violent abrasive winds tomorrow
You take left, I take right
You see black, I see white
You pet dogs, I pet cats
You do vodka, I do maheu
Why not meet halfway instead or just walk together?
You say I'm gullible, I say its because..
You starve me a fraction of your attention
Reason says we both need to stop
Demisty the blame games and shun getting back at each other
It will become a vice
Do away with scouting for a finished product out of each other's throat
I know not what love is but I do know..
It isn't that miss world/carnival/universe or
Any of those imperfection free beauty pageants
Pay attention to the world if you want to witness the brink of our malaise
Shall we turn the quotidian happy never after fairy tales into a never ending reality

I hope to hear from you soon
Extend my greetings to him
Your dear
....me??.....

That

Before I left the house
I had a chat with my mirror
To get feedback on my blouse
And guess what?

So loyal of the mirror 
It revealed answers I hadn't put questions for

Rubbed in my face was the cold truth
         That
My camouflaged complexion is too uneven
Looks like the art of a mediocre painter
Are my knees and elbows that dark
  that you say
Charcoal puts them to shame
That a dog's lousy eyes are nothing
When one comes across mine

That I need
  a nose job, liposuction, breasts uplift, lasers for my stretch marks, botox, appetitos, extension of my hips and back..and lord knows what else

Ohh what a pleasure it was 
Talking to the most blunt mirror in the world 
Not to mention how sensitive, helpful,considerate,sweet and not brutal at all it was
such that

I forgot where my presence was being needed
My sneakers couldn't collect my direction 
All they could create was friction 
Sending me back to bed
Where dear subconscious decided 
To give my mirror a piece of its mind

So is that all you see when my diagram stands before your page
Are my imperfections your only perfect area of
 target

Do you by any chance mean to say that
What really matters 
Is the right amount of botox and not my confidence
The right shape as to how I should draw my eyebrows and not the right shape of my life
That I starve myself for an English body
What you commonly refer to as a "beach body"
Yet I have the slightest idea of what an ocean/sea is
When I can't even access a swimming pool itself

What exactly are you telling me to be?
Western when I'm southern
White when I'm black

Do me one favour and let me do me and be me
Cause therez no chance i'm being all that!!

Losing What You Never Had

Losing what you never had..how ridiculous right?
There is that time you come to realise that you can't be selfish in having what doesn't really belong to you.
Keeping what's not yours..even worse..what doesn't really want to stay.
Well do yourself one huge favour and let go.
There is that process called taking things for granted.
 Is it not better if its just a mere object, now come to think of it when its just dear you.
Dear you with all those emotional self pity and wallowing crap from different directions.
Its even more sad when you can't accept it and just love harder in return.
As much as you know that you are nothing in their eyes you try as hard to be something.
 I shall not play the blame game here coz I know love should be held responsible...as much as gravity can't be held for one falling
Falling for inexcusable excuses..first class lies..pretense 
Unbalanced.. Subtracted and divided attention and all the what nots in the universe
Those moments when you subconsciously lash at your heart
For loving too much..for being such a dear..for feeling when not supposed to
Its just too complicated a process to tell your mind not to love when thy heart does so without even being told to do so
